Welcome to All Moms, Wives, Girlfriends who may have a sailor on a frigate. I noticed that there was a nice site for Destroyer Moms (lots of activity there) but could not find one for the sailors on the small ships, frigates with much smaller numbers of sailors per ship. There are a couple of frigates with a moms' sight of their own but little, if any, activity there. Thought, maybe collectively, we could develop a site with lots of sharing and support and develop our own Frigate Moms site. Please stop by often and share with us. This ship assignment is totally new to me and I am sure I will have lots of questions. There may be others out there with the same....and I am sure there are lots of experienced family members out there with oodles of answers, stories from from your frigate sailor's adventures. Here we go, April 2012, let's come together and support each other.

Does anyone know anything about rules for mailing "canned" items to our sailors? I'm aware of the "cakes in mason jars" but what about other fresh foods - anyone know if this is ok?
Thanks! Gabrielsmomma

Hi, mombychoice. Thank you for the invite. Our son won't be on a ship, but I still would like to me a member. He may be assigned to one later. Not sure I can share more right now. He will graduate from A school on June 29.

Hi Everyone. It is nice to see someone started this group. You don't see many Mom groups for frigates. My son is on the USS INGRAHAM out of Everett Wa. He is about to end his first deployment. Thank goodness this deployment is about to come to an end. I've missed him so much. Everytime the Ingraham post pictures I am going through them with a fine tooth comb trying to find him in any picture I can. When I do it just makes my day. My husband and I live in Huntsville, Al on Redstone Arsenal. We just moved here from Atlanta Ga. Chris went off to Boot Camp end of May of 2010. A lot has happened in his short career in the Navy. Now his is about to end his first deployment.

Hi Carebear, hope all is well with you. Is your son going to be on a Frigate too? Where will he be stationed?
